How to paint cactus in Watercolor
2. Draw the branches of the cactus and make 3 small ellipses on both sides of the large ellipse. The whole shape of the cactus is now drawn.
3. Draw the shadow part of the cactus with the colors as shown in the figure. Next, draw a flower pot. Add water with lemon yellow, draw the base color of the flowerpot.
Note: when drawing two adjacent parts, do not draw when the water is not dry. It is easy to mix the colors of the two parts together, which will destroy the whole picture. You should wait for the cactus color to dry before drawing the pot color.
4. Draw the shadow of the cactus as shown in the figure. The contrast of light and shade is clearer, which can reflect the texture of cactus.
Note: pay attention to the excessive color when painting again, you can first draw a dark shadow, and then use another brush with white water to make the color transition more natural.
